Perfect week on the lake.

This is a great house on Lake Gaston cove. Well appointed kitchen and few extras in case you forgot anything. Love the screen porch and comfy beds. Nice area to float in the lake. Plenty of sitting areas outside. We would stay again.

We had a wonderful time during our stay! We enjoyed being out on the water and exploring the different islands Lake Gaston has too ofter. The best part of our stay was hanging out on the amazing screened in porch!!! Whether we were drinking our morning coffee listening to the birds wake up, or smoking dinner on the trager!! We also enjoyed making s’mores and spending quality time with the family around the awesome fire pit! We will definitely be back for another weekend on the lake!

2nd time - enjoyed it as much as the first

We again had the pleasure of staying here at our latest Lake Gaston visit. The house has been well maintained since our visit a couple of years ago and we again had a wonderful time. We enjoy spending time on the lake and bringing our boat. In the evenings watching movies with the family or sitting out on the screend in deck and talking about the adventures of the day and plans for tomorrow. We look forward to our next visit.

Treat yourself to a slice of heaven ~ Lake Gaston NC

This home is so lovely ~ the pictures don't do it justice. It is so lovingly maintained, comfortable and in a wonderful location. We rented a pontoon for the week and spent each day on Lake Gaston. Evenings were outside by the fire pit or on the screened in porch. The beds are very comfortable. Appliances are new which make it a wonderful home away from home. Would whole heartedly recommend to anyone.

Best place ever!

We come to lake Gaston atleast 3 to 4 times a year and this has been the best experience so far. This is the first house we have ever stayed at where the beds were soft and comfortable and the house was totally stocked down the the shampoo. Pictures don't do it justice, owners have really put forth a huge effort to make this place special for there tenants and it shows. Owners were very responsive and communicated with us several times while we were there, even offering ideas on good places to eat. We will definitely be back!

Great family week away

We had a wonderful week away with our sons and their wife/girlfriend…. Lots of meals together, boating and swimming all day and games/cards at night on the screened in porch. Who doesn’t love a screened in porch! We had wonderful weather. We went back out on water 2 of the evenings to get a view of the sunset, which was wonderful. Fire pit area is really nice. The Food Lion is so close, that was great. Neighborhood is quiet. I had great morning walks seeing homes from the street side. Neighbors are very nice. This is our 3rd visit to Lake Gaston, we hope to be back again.

Greatv Family Getaway on the Lake!

The property is beautiful, nestled in Jimmie's Creek but quick access to bigger waters. The kitchen has everything you need to include counter top ice maker. Overall very spacious and well furnished throughout. Our kids loved spending days on water and evenings on screened porch listening to the loons. Ms. April was a great host during stay. Just a heads up... eating out options are limited. There is a Food Lion, Ice Cream shop, gas station, mini golf and coffee shop juat down road.... very convenient for.quick restocks.and dinners at home. Would go back in a heartbeat! Enjoy.

You will not be disappointed!

This house was just perfect. It was on the most peaceful spot I've ever been on at the lake and sitting in the screened porch (which is huge) was like medicine for the soul. The house had everything you need, a lot of really well done decorations and nice touches, and was incredibly clean. The hosts were very responsive for questions, (we had zero issues) and very accommodating. The dock and lakeside area was amazing and my kids enjoyed days of good fishing down there. The space is well laid out and really felt like a wonderful haven for us. We all slept well in comfortable beds, and enjoyed great moments together on the lake, dock, firepit, porch, and relaxing living room. Book with confidence! You will enjoy this place!

Peaceful retreat

We had a wonderful two week stay at this property. It's located in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful, mature trees. The views of the water from the screened porch were very nice and this location quickly became our favorite daily lounging spot. We really appreciated the nice, short walkway from the house to the boat dock. My mom, who uses a cane, was able to navigate the few steps (with handrail) to the dock with no problem. We cooked quite a bit and found the kitchen to be functional and equiped with all of the essentials. The grill outside was clean and well-maintained. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock most morning, catching quite a few fish. The kayaks were great; we enjoyed exploring the cove and checking out everyone's fancy boats and docks. You can tell that people take tremendous pride in their vacation homes here. Overall, it was a great stay and we hope to return for more adventures.
